I was going through this old chart book for Lake Michigan and came across these old pics of the ditch. 

Pretty cool Tim!

Thanks Tim

I do remember when the ditch basically dumped straight out into the lake with no E-W breakwall guarding the mouth. I don't remember there ever being a "wide spot" around where the river walk is now located.  That "bridge" looking thing I think was a pipeline crossing the ditch. I remember it well because that's the first place I ever fished for coho - from the shore, right by that crossing on the west side. Either 1968 or 69, spring break from college. Didn't catch anything, but it was thrilling just to try.  

Cool photo.
